The association between posture of the head and malocclusion in Saudi subjects.

The purpose of the present study was to examine whether a relationship exists between posture of the head and neck, and the presence of certain malocclusal problems. Dental models, in addition to lateral cephalometric radiographs, taken in the "natural head position" of 180 male and female subjects were obtained. The postural angles between the head and the cervical column, termed craniovertical, craniocervical, cervicohorizontal, and cervical curvature, were measured.
